Location: 18071 Freshwater Circle Mike Connor, Staff Planner, reported that an Area Variance was approved with the tract for reduced lot sizes (50 x 90 in lieu of 60 x 100) with some properties having a 7-1/2 foot garage setback from the front property line. A variance was approved in 1983 for a reduced open space dimension in the rear yard of the subject property. The proposed addition is in the front of the house. Staff concluded by recommending approval of the request with the front setback at 17 feet, instead of the applicant's proposed sixteen feet,in order to meet a compact car stall size on the driveway. ZA Minutes - 1/15/92 -3- (2130d) Scott Hess, Zoning Administrator, advised that the City's policy is to not approve any variances for less than a 20 foot setback for garages and that the Planning Commission's past actions have supported that policy. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Allen Stroh, the applicant, said the addition is for storage room which would make the house more livable. He said the house is very small and does not have storage. There were no other persons present to speak for or against the request and the public hearing was closed. Scott Hess, Zoning Administrator, said he would prefer to continue the request and recommended the applicant revise plans to incorporate the addition at the rear of the structure. He said that on -site parking is critical and a rear addition would be more compatible with the neighborhood. Allen Stroh agreed to the continuance stating he would much prefer to construct the addition in the rear yard. USE PERMIT NO. 91-23 WAS CONTINUED TO A DATE UNCERTAIN BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR. THE MEETING WAS ADJOURNED AT 2:05 PM BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR TO THE NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR ON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1992, AT 1:30 PM. 24WA�� Sc t He s Zoning Administrator :jr E ZA Minutes - 1/15/92 -4- (2130d)
